"Hey Zen-chan! I was wondering, you've wiped out places before and I was wondering, is there any stories you wanna tell me of other universes? I'm real curious!" Goku said with a chipper tone, smiling wide at his friend who looked at his copy, both of them nodding. "Yeah! There was over one hundred! But, I did feel a little bad when I erased Universe thirteen, there were super nice and crazy strong people there." Zeno replied, smiling at Goku who quickly sat down, eager to listen as the Grand Priest approached. "Actually Zeno-Sama, may I tell Goku of Universe thirteen? I might be able to explain it a little better."
Zeno nodded and floated there as the Grand Priest looked over at Goku. "Right now there are twin Universes that mirror each other quite a bit, these actually used to be Triple Universes. Universe thirteen was the third Universe connected to your seven and six. Thirteen boasted some very powerful warriors I'm sure you would have loved to meet Goku. Anyway, sadly Zeno-Sama had to wipe it out due to their God of Destruction and Angel turning on everybody."
Goku frowned at that, unable to see Whis and Beerus doing the same. "That's horrible... what happened?" he asked, the Grand Priest smiling sadly. "The God and his Angel both tried to take over the other Universes through force, the Universe had to go. Turns out the same thing was prepared to happen in the others. But before we get that far. I'll explain from the start. Universe thirteen had a lot in common with yours Goku, except when Planet Hoshi died, their version of Planet Vegeta" he said at Goku's questioning look. "There were a couple of Saiyans that had survived but they were in different parts of their Universe. The two we'll focus on for now were called Ignis and Raziel."
Universe 13 (pre-erasure)
"Raziel! You need to come eat dammit! Stop training for a while!" a male voice yelled out over the sound of explosions, hearing them stop immediately as a young male Saiyan landed in front of him. "Sorry old man, I finally got a few of those techniques down and I wanted to practice with em, you cooked this time? Or are we on Pizza again?" the saiyan asked with a laugh.
Raziel looked like your average Saiyan but with a rather obvious difference. Where regular Saiyan's had black hair, Raziel was blonde and where they had dark eyes, his were green. Raziel's regular appearance was that of the Legendary Super Saiyan form that was only ever achieved through those with Royal blood, or so history was viewed. He was simply born with a genetic deformity that altered his appearance. Raziel was always a bit of a black sheep to the royals due to that but he never let it bother him, more bothered about training and getting stronger more than anything. That was a mentality shared by another Saiyan named Ignis. Ignis was his best friend although the two hadn't seen each other for over seven years after being sent to different planets. Funnily enough Raziel was sent to destroy Earth but he loved the planet too much and decided to become one of it's protectors.
"I cooked, come on inside and we can-" he started before cutting off as he saw something appear in the sky. There was a very large metal ball flying down to the ground and was currently covered in flames due to it entering at such high speeds. "Old man move!" Raziel yelled, flying forwards and tackling the man, getting him well out of the way just before the ball hit where he was standing, dust and debris flying upwards from the collision.
"That ball... wait, it can't be another Saiyan." he whispered, standing up and watching the dust settle and he paled upon realising it really was another Saiyan spaceship. He grit his teeth and watched as the door to the ship was flung off of it, seeing it fly into a large boulder a few feet away. "Shit, I bet the boss is wondering why Earth isn't killed." Raziel growled, the old man he was with not looking very surprised as Raziel had been very forward with his orders. As the dust fully settled, Raziel watched a figure step out of the ship and make their way over to him slowly, his eyes widening at who it was.
"Holy crap, Ignis!" Raziel gasped, his eyes wide as his friend walked over to him, although the angry look in his eyes worried him. "You were meant to wipe out all life! Why the hell are these ants still roaming around?!" he yelled, his eyes blazing with fury. Ignis was furious at Raziel not performing his duty, and then it hit him. "You've turned native!"
Raziel grimaced and nodded, settling into a fighting stance. "Yeah, I have. And if you've come to kill them... I'll have to stop you. Friend or not." Raziel replied, staring Ignis down with narrowed eyes. Ignis smirked and slipped into his own, tossing away his scouter since it would just be in the way, this much the two had deduced over their fights. "Should you win, I'll leave and you can live in peace until another one of us arrives, but if you lose... I'll destroy this worthless rock and just head home and use your corpse as a fucking footstool."
The two stared each other down before Raziel motioned for them to move, flying off and Ignis gave chase. "I gotta admit, you want nobody to be hurt? That's adorable. You do realise when you're dead that they're going to end up in the same position right Raziel?" Ignis chuckled, the two of them landing in a large clearing after a few minutes. "Alright, this is it. Ignis, we may be partners but if you're going to hurt all the innocents on Earth then I'll have to kill you."
Raziel stared down his old friend and settled into his fighting stance, Ignis mirroring him. "You'll die trying." The two warriors held each others gaze for a few moments before flying forwards with huge bursts of speed, their fists clashing and sending up a shock-wave of energy from the point of impact. The pair began trading blows quicker than most people would be able to see, their fists practically dissapearing with the speed of their strikes and the same began happening with their kicks, soon both fighters were simply creating shock-waves with each clash, dashing around the area as fist met fist and leg met leg.
After several minutes Ignis slipped up and overextended on a strike, missing Raziel who crouched slightly and delivered a vicious uppercut to his fellow Saiyan's chin, launching him into the air and he followed up by jumping and landing three powerful blows to his chest before flipping himself over and slamming his heel into Ignis's chest, launching him back to the ground and holding out one hand, firing a yellow beam towards Ignis.
The young Saiyan spun off the ground however and slapped the beam away, thrusting his other hand forwards. "Destruction blast!" The wave of explosive power hit Raziel head on and he got launched back quite a distance, allowing Ignis to build up the energy for another attack. The saiyan held his hands out behind him while charging his energy, feeling it build up in both his palms and he brought them forwards into a hard clap, releasing a wave of energy that flew towards Raziel who had just gotten back up. "Ozaru Wave!" The energy glowed a bright blue as it flew at Raziel who growled and placed his hands at his right side, building up a large amount of energy.
"Kamehameha!" He shot the blue energy forwards, meeting the large wave in a struggle which after a few moments, the Kamehameha began to overpower, frustrating Ignis who flew above the wave and fired a large volley of Ki blasts at Raziel, forcing him to end the beam and try flying out of range. Ignis followed him, his hand radiating with energy before he placed them together by his right side, channeling his Ki between them. "Take this Raziel!" he yelled, thrusting forwards a large blue beam that hit Raziel dead on.
Raziel was launched back with a cry of pain as Ignis chased him in the air, his ki bursting off him in waves and he raised an arm as he flew, pointing it to Raziel and firing off a few large yellow Ki blasts. The Ki blasts never landed as the Saiyan recovered and batted them away, managing to land safely and he flung his arms behind him while charging his Ki, growling as he thrust them forwards so the heel's of his palms met. "Take this! Final Redemption!" With that a huge beam of Purple energy shot out at Ignis who was hit dead on, screaming in pain at the attack he was not expecting. The beam kept contact with him for about thirty seconds, damaging him quite a lot but upon hitting the ground he shot back up, in clear agony but flew back into the air, glaring at Raziel. "You're DEAD!"
"Ignis STOP! Let's end this with one attack!" Raziel called out, his eyes narrowed as he stared down his ex partner. Ignis considered this, stopping and floating to the ground slowly. "Fine. Let's see who's attack is the winning blow." he replied, he two a fair distance away. Ignis's Armour was utterly destroyed, leaving him in just his pants while Raziel's shirt was in tatters on his body along with missing a pant leg.
Raziel placed his hands to his right side in a ball shape as if he was going to be charging up his Kamehameha wave, but he pulled his left hand away as a ball of Golden energy appeared. His left hand then began to charge up a second ball of a blue colour. His right hand focused heavier Ki which slowly began to take the shape of a Golden Dragons head while the blue ball charged up a Blue Dragon head. "This is my strongest attack Ignis. I can't guarantee you'll be alive after this. It's your last chance to give up before you die." Raziel said, giving one final Opportunity to his friend to stop. It fell on deaf ears however as Ignis began preparing his own attack.
Raziel sighed and stared him down as the dragon heads began turning into miniature dragons that coiled around his arms, he then slowly brought his hands forwards, making them meet as if he was going to perform his Final Redemption. However now the dragons coiled around his hands began fusing, slowly forming into a Silver Dragon head that began to grow in size.
Ignis took in a breath and roared as he began to charge up his Ki, bringing it up into a large blue Aura around him that began climbing up higher and higher and released a few waves of power that crushed the ground around him, both his hands charging up a huge amount of ki that he combined into one large ball, smirking at Raziel. "I hope you're ready, this won't end well for you." Ignis then slammed the ball into the ground, making several large pillars of Ki rise up around him before pointing a hand out with his palm facing Raziel, smirking. "Pillars of Saiyan Pride!"
Raziel roared out and fired his attack off. "Dragon King's Flash!" The silver head shot out and began forming a huge silver Dragon that was quickly growing in size as Ignis finished off his attack, firing out a beam that impacted one of the five pillars and upon hitting it several more beams branched out and impacted the rest, sending a total of fifteen large blue beams at Raziel's dragon. The impact was tremendous and began breaking apart the ground in the surrounding area, waves of Ki and force flying off the meeting of the two attacks but as quickly as they began, they stopped. The dragon absorbed all the Ki of Ignis's beams and the violent Saiyan was quickly overwhelmed by the technique and was forced down onto the ground before the dragon clamped down his teeth and held Ignis tight, dragging him through the floor before finally stopping as it impacted a small mountain, bringing it down on Ignis who barely got out of it alive, although he was in no condition to fight.
"Dammit... he beat me..." he coughed out, blood splattering the ground next to him as he tried to sit up. He was in pure agony and there was no way he'd survive another hit, sighing as Raziel landed in front of him. "Ignis. Do you give up?" he asked, walking over to the downed Saiyan. Ignis just laughed at him and smiled. "You've gotten stronger. I'm glad I did this little test" he replied, grimacing. "You fucked me up bad man, were you actually trying to kill me?" He looked up at Raziel who now looked very confused.
"You were going to try and destroy the Earth! it's my home now!" he shot back, Ignis laughing harder. "I was never gonna destroy it. I'm out of the whole Planet Selling Business. In fact... the whole race is out of any business..." he said softly, looking down. "Raziel, Hoshi was destroyed. And I don't think there were any survivors. I came here to make sure yo were still alive and... I needed to get my anger out before I lost it..." he whispered, shaking as tears began to fall. In the many years that Raziel knew Ignis, he'd never once cried. He knew now he was telling the truth. "Ignis... come on, I'll go get someone to heal you up"
Raziel hoisted Ignis over his shoulder and flew into the air, carrying him to a healer he trusted more than any other. One thing was for sure though, this was only the start of their story.
Elsewhere on Planet Earth
It was dark, he was in pain and he felt something wet hitting his face quickly. His body burned with each movement he made and protested every minor twitch he performed. He had to get up though, he had no choice. He had to try and find the Saiyan who landed here, he needed to ensure he wasn't the last one. But his mind kept going back to that moment, the moment he realised the weakness of his race.
"My king! We have to fight back! If we don't we'll be slaughtered! Just please see reason!" He begged, his hands clenched into fists as he stared down the King of all Saiyans. "Maalik. You are a fool. Why would they dare attack us on our home turf? We are the most powerful race in the Universe! Begone from my sight lest I have you killed for questioning me!" the King shot back, raising his hand in a sign of dismissal.
"You'd really put our people in danger because of your own arrogance? You... you're pathetic!" Maalik roared, his anger shooting to heights it had never before reached. His hair burst into colour from black to a powerful gold, his ki flowing around him as he screamed out his rage at the King. All the saiyans around him then leapt forwards in an attempt to subdue the raging Saiyan. But Maalik was gone, all that was left was a vengeful Saiyan prepared to kill the man who was going to lead them to ruin.
"If we're going to die... then you will die BY MY HAND! PREPARE YOURSELF!"
"He let us all go to our deaths... he led us to believe we were superior but was I the only one who realised how weak we can be? No. I'm not weak. I'm mighty! And I'll be damned if the Saiyans will be remembered as a Trash race." He grity his teeth and with newfound strength he stood up, his eyes turning green as his hair returned to that beautiful gold. "I am Maalik... and I'm the Super Saiyan above ALL!"
